Damien Lightcaster

Damien Lightcaster (a.k.a. The Spear)

  Damien had a rough start at life as he was dropped off not long after his birth at an orphanage late in the night, in the land of Daborak. The only thing they left with him was a note, which read "His name is Damien..."   After spending a few years there he was lucky enough to catch the eye of a somewhat...peculiar man known around town as Mr. Lightcaster, who decided to take him in. Mr. Lightcaster knelt down, looked Damien in the eyes and said:   "Your eyes.....those are the eyes of someone destined for greater things than this, boy."   For the next decade or so Mr. Lightcaster would mentor and train Damien in the ways of the world, as well as how to be a competent fighter. Damien didn't mind this way of life, it beat staying at the orphanage that's for sure. And although their relationship on the outside would be perceived more as a student and their teacher, Damien very much looked at Mr. Lightcaster as a father, and he his son.   One day while training, Damien noticed the necklace of a seven pointed star dangling from Mr Lightcaster's neck and asked what it was.   "Ah, interested in this old thing are you?" Mr. Lightcaster asked.   "This here boy, is the symbol of The Seven. They were a group of seven brave heroes whom saved our world from a great enemy in time's past, but at a terrible cost. In return for their courage and sacrifice, they became deified. When I feel lost or at unease I take hold of this necklace and pray to them in hopes of gaining some form of guidance. In fact, the day I found you at that orphanage I had made a prayer to them before leaving my home. This time was different however, as a flash of these bright, pure yellow eyes had raced past my mind. That is how I knew immediately when I saw you that there was something greater in store for you and that I had to get you out of there."   The rest of that day was spent with Mr. Lightcaster telling more stories to Damien about The Seven such as their feats and acts of good deeds. That was one of the turning points in Damien's life as he had decided after that day that he too would follow his own path of The Seven in hopes to emulate their courage and heroism.

Proficiences
Booming Blade (Cantrip, 1 Action, 5ft, 1 Round): On a hit, the target suffers the attack's normal effects, and it becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves be- fore then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.
This spell's damage increases when you reach higher levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level and 17th level.

Chill Touch (Cantrip, 1 Action, 120ft, 1 Round): You create a ghostly, skeletal hand in the space of a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the creature to assail it with the chill of the grave. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the hand clings to the target.
If you hit an undead target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.
This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

Shield (1st Lvl, 1 Reaction, Self, 1 Round): An invisible barrier of magical force appears and protects you. Until the start of your next turn, you have a +5 bonus to AC, including against the triggering attack, and you take no damage from magic missile.

Absorb Elements (1st Lvl, 1 Reaction, Self, 1 Round): The spell captures some of the incoming energy, lessening its effect on you and storing it for your next melee attack. You have resistance to the triggering damage type until the start of your next turn. Also, the first time you hit with a melee attack on your next turn, the target takes an extra 1d6 damage of the triggering type, and the spell ends. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the extra damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 1st.

Magic Missile(1st Lvl, 1 Action, 120ft, Instant): You create three glowing darts of magical force. Each dart hits a creature of your choice that you can see within range. A dart deals 1d4 + 1 force damage to its target. The darts all strike simultaneously, and you can direct them to hit one creature or several.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the spell creates one more dart for each slot level above 1st.

Protection From Good & Evil(1st Lvl, 1 Action, Touch, Concentration, Up to 10min): Until the spell ends, one willing creature you touch is protected against certain types of creatures: aberrations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, and undead.

The protection grants several benefits. Creatures of those types have disadvantage on attack rolls against the target. The target also can't be charmed, frightened, or possessed by them. If the target is already charmed, frightened, or possessed by such a creature, the target has advantage on any new saving throw against the relevant effect.

Blur (2nd Lvl, Concentration 10min, 1 Action, Self):
Your body becomes blurred, shifting and wavering to all who can see you. For the duration, any creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against you. An attacker is immune to this effect if it doesn't rely on sight, as with blindsight, or can see through illusions, as with truesight.

Feat: Sentinel - When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.
Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the Disengage action before leaving your reach.
When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn't have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.

Feat: War Caster: You have practiced casting spells in the midst of combat, learning techniques that grant you the following benefits:
You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage.
You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.
When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

Feat: Polearm Master: When you take the Attack action and attack with only a glaive, halberd, quarterstaff, or spear, you can use a bonus action to make a melee attack with the opposite end of the weapon. This attack uses the same ability modifier as the primary attack. The weapon's damage die for this attack is a d4, and it deals bludgeoning damage.
While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, quarterstaff, or spear, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter the reach you have with that weapon.

Nature's Blessing: +5 Movement Speed

War Magic: Beginning at 7th level, when you use your action to cast a cantrip, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Action Surge- Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

Second Wind- You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Fighting Style: Defense (While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.)

Lip Service(The Seven): Proficiency in any Skill(Persuasion)
